2. i totally agree, dude

you know I live here too, I've seen them both up close and there was no way of knowing at the time how horribly Spitzer woul dhave turned out.

He was like a 1:5 favorite in the Kentucky Derby finishing in last place. i mean, it's just shocking how bad he's been. Now this?

If there was one guy the GOP could probably never bring down it was Spitzer, and that was true. He brought himself down.

It's almost Shakespearian in it's complete fall from heights.

As I said in a post last night, this presents an opportunity for suozzi to run again (and you and i both know he will).

But it also opens the door to Clinton running for governor, which would be a very interesting development that could impact the primaries right now.

3. The problem is...

The problem is that Patterson is going to be governor and will probably run for re-election. That means that Suozzi will probably be shut out again.

4. People make mistakes, but he's got to go

The party has been able to sit back and laugh at Republican scandal after Republican scandal.

Time to take one on the chin. If Spitzer did it, he's got to go.

5. Yeah, me too

He was going to put an end to the Silver-Bruno hammerlock on state government and he wasn't even doing a good job at that...now this. The Democrats need to throw him under the bus and fast so this doesn't define them as a party for years to come.

We'll see how Patterson does; for whatever reason, I'm not that hopeful.
